Study Notes

Insect Anatomy Overview

Insects possess segmented bodies divided into three main regions: head, thorax, and abdomen.
The head features paired sensory organs known as antennae, crucial for sensory perception, food detection, and mate location.

Antennae Structure and Function

Antennae are composed of three primary parts:
- Scape: basal segment articulating with the head capsule.
- Pedicel: second segment.
- Flagellum: remaining segments, called flagellomeres, providing sensory functions.

Types of Antennae

Plumose: Brush-like structure, seen in moths and mosquitoes.
Setaceous: Simple, bristle-shaped antennae.
Aristate: Pouch-like with a bristle, found in house flies.
Capitate: Abruptly clubbed at the end, typical in butterflies.
Clavate: Gradually clubbed, seen in carrion beetles.
Filiform: Thread-like shape, typical of ground beetles.
Geniculate: Bent or hinged structure like an elbow, found in bees and ants.
Pectinate: Comb-like shape, common in glowworms.
Serrate: Saw-toothed shape, as seen in click beetles.

Insect Leg Structure

Insects have six legs attached to the thorax, divided into three segments:
- Coxa, Trochanter, Femur, Tibia, Tarsus, and Pretarsus.
Each leg segment serves distinct functions and features specific adaptations for various lifestyles.

Types of Insect Legs

Ambulatorial: Long femur and tibia for walking, observed in mantids and leaf beetles.
Cursorial: Thin and tubular, adapted for running, common in cockroaches.
Saltatorial: Enlarged femur for jumping, found in grasshoppers.
Raptorial: Modified for grasping prey, seen in praying mantises.
Natatorial: Adapted for swimming with flattened structure, typical of diving beetles.
Fossorial: Broad and flat for digging, prevalent in mole crickets.
Clasping: Specialized for mate holding, as seen in diving beetles.
Stridulating: Involved in sound production, common in crickets.
Scansorial: Clinging and climbing, found in head lice.
Foragial: Collects food, houses pollen baskets in honey bees.
Basket-like: Spiny legs for prey storage, found in dragonflies.
Sticking: Allows adhesion through pulvilli in houseflies.
Crawling: Fleshy legs, observed in caterpillars.

Insect Abdomen

The abdomen is the third body section, critical for digestion and reproduction, located behind the thorax.
It is segmented and features various structures such as spiracles for respiration and reproductive openings.

Abdominal Structures

Spiracle: Respiratory openings located on the abdomen.
Anus: Rear opening presents between protective sclerites.
Cerci: Sensory organs located at the abdomen's anterior.
Clasper: External genitalia used for reproduction.
Pincers: Defensive structures originating from cerci.
Median caudal filament: Thread-like structure found between cerci.
Cornicles: Secretory structures in aphids that deter predators.
Abdomen proleg: Fleshy appendages in some larvae.
Sting: Modified ovipositor in female hymenoptera for defense.
Abdominal gills: Specialized respiratory organs in aquatic insect nymphs.
Furcula: Jumping organ in collembolans.
Collophore: Stabilization structure in the first abdominal segment of collembolans.
